When there is a good mayor, who cares about his community, the results are visible. Going straight ahead and doing everything to achieve the goal. Without paying attention to the barrage of political criticism, without countering with impromptu outings on social media. This small premise serves to summarize the important result obtained, after months of work in silence, by the mayor of Nago-Torbole, Gianni Morandi. To the question “But is it true that the pediatrician will soon return to Nago?” he is first surprised, then confirms the news and gives a short interview to La Busa. “I confirm the news, but if you allow me, I would also like to resume the reasoning on the actual situation of doctors in the municipality of Nago-Torbole”. “There have been months of specious controversies,” he blurts out. Referring to the “Common Project” question on the closure of the medical clinic in Nago (read) which, due to the renovation work on the Community House, was causing inconvenience to the citizens. “To deny all the criticisms I have heard in recent months, I confirm that, in addition to the general practitioners, the pediatrician will also return to service in Nago, without particular problems, despite all the dire predictions I have heard – he began -. In fact, there has never been any problem, neither with the doctors nor with the pediatrician, nor with the clinic service that we provide, free of charge, for all doctors who want to come and work on site”.
Mayor Morandi, however, makes a small admission of guilt: “The only thing I can blame myself for is that the company delayed the completion of the works for the Nago clinics which were temporarily closed for the renovation works, but we had no other suitable premises to host the medical clinics with the waiting room and all the facilities. However, the service was guaranteed on Torbole. Unfortunately, at the same time, there was also the departure of a doctor, which created further inconvenience for patients, who were forced to change doctors”.
The Morandi administration has sought all suitable tools to encourage and facilitate the presence of doctors. The mayor himself wants to reiterate this: “The pediatrician asked to return to Nago. She made specific requests about the equipment, also because in the previous clinic there was material from the other doctor and other things that were a little dated. He sent the list, we evaluated it and then we purchased all the materials.”
The equipment will now remain with the municipal clinic: “The medical devices have already arrived and we have already installed them. I repeat, we have worked in harmony with the pediatrician and now he will be able to resume service in Nago.”
“We are happy with how the story ended, despite all the owls and detractors and those who continue to speak badly. We have done everything to keep the doctors, not only the primary care ones, but also the pediatrician – concludes Mayor Morandi – we are happy with the result achieved. Because there are few doctors in the area and those few who are there we must treat them well – he underlines – They provide a very important service for the entire community. We cannot do more than this. They are not municipal employees. Personally, I don’t like those who speculate on these situations, exaggerating reality, just for political purposes. In this way they do not do any good to themselves or to the community where they live. It’s not good to create tensions where they don’t exist, especially in terms of healthcare, where people need to stay calm.”
